Watch NASA Crash a Helicopter … For Science

NASA is crashing a CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter in the name of science. And it’s happening right now, live.

The test is being conducted at the Landing and Impact Research facility in Virginia, where the agency is dropping the fuselage packed with a dozen crash test dummies, to see how the 45-foot-long structure holds up. Forty cameras are catching the action, with a few capturing the destruction at 500 frames per second. And if you’re reading this after the test, fret not: NASA will be rebroadcasting the footage online.
